FAQs

CR1 stands for “Conditional Resident” visa, which is a type of visa that grants conditional permanent residence status to the spouse of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
What does CR1 visa mean?
An IR1 visa is an immigrant visa for immediate relatives of US citizens, including a foreign spouse. This will allow foreign spouses of American citizens to come to the United States as lawful permanent residents.
What is a IR1 visa?
The CR1 visa is for spouses who have been married for less than two years, while the IR1 visa is for spouses who have been married for more than two years. The main difference is that the CR1 visa grants conditional residency, whereas the IR1 visa grants immediate permanent residency.
What is the difference between CR1 and IR1 visas?
You cannot directly change from CR1 to IR1 status. However, after two years as a CR1, you can apply to remove the conditions on your residency by filing Form I-751 (“Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence”). Once this is approved, you will receive IR1 status, which grants you permanent residency without conditions.
Can I change from CR1 to IR1?
The K1 fiancé visa is currently taking slightly longer to process than the CR1 spousal visa. The K1 will also cost significantly more when the government raises fees in late 2023. But choosing between these two visa paths depends on your unique situation. Boundless has put together an in-depth guide on the pros and cons of the K1 vs. CR1 visas.
Which is better: K1 or CR1?
No. You may only apply for a K1 visa at an Embassy or Consulate outside the United States.
Can I apply for the K1 fiancé(e) visa from within the United States?
The F2A visa is one of five family preference visa categories. The F2A visa is designated specifically to the spouses and children (under 21 years old) of current U.S. Green Card holders (lawful permanent residents).
